Could you please check the link, patch. Seems there is something missing at the end and therefore it doesn't work.

The demand for suitably hairy extras was so great that some had to be recruited from local heavy metal message boards.

Thanks, patch. Some interesting interpretations - we could do a 10 second "Name the film that they took that photo from" with all the SB pics!

I wonder why no one seems to have done any more mockups of Tyrion, beyond the first one? Too much work to make him look like his description in the book? (It's a shame the character is described with such attention to detail - Peter Dinkledge may be short, but he's very attractive and they're going to make him look hideous!)

ROFL. Bluejay is right.

I was being generous to the newBeans - if we oldsters (as fans, not age!) can't do it in 5 or less, we need to turn in our SBOCD card!

Fairley to replace Ehle in HBO's 'Thrones'

Interesting!! I looooooved Jennifer Ehle in Pride and Prejudice and was looking forward to her playing opposite SB.

I don't know this new actress, so it is hard to judge

Sable899 · « **Reply #414 on:** March 19, 2010, 03:13:26 PM »

Fairley plays Hermione Granger's mum in the Harry Potter films. She's 46. 5 years older than Ehle and closer to Sean's age. Very reputable working Irish actress with an impressive filmography, mostly telly, but much longer than Ehle's. She's played the range from period costume drama to modern telly drama with a lot of theater work.

Hmm - someone on the WiC blog commented that GRRM had suggested that he had gotten a couple of pieces of bad news. I wonder if this was one of them (not that it's bad news, I suspect she's probably a better choice overall - I admit I was having a little trouble seeing Ehle playing the part. Catlyn Stark has STONES - Ehle seemed a little weak for the role.)

Still, if this was one of the things he was referring to, I wonder what the other might be??

This seems a bit ominous

, Sable,

I just took a look at Michelle Fairley's CV and it is quite impressive. And I had seen her -- in Inspector Morse, Lovejoy, and Lark Rise to Candleford, just hadn't looked for a name in the credits.

Maybe this could be a good thing. Lighty is right that the character of Catelyn has to have STONES; this actress may be less of a "pretty face" than Jennifer Ehle and have more acting "chops".

At least it's not

or any other very young (and, really,

no longer qualifies for the term "young", either by looks or by chronology

) blond, as was the case with the last two Sharpes (maybe

had something to do with the casting change

). I wonder how SB feels about the change -- making his wife someone older
